Is Life
Worth Living?

That depends upon the
Liver, for if the Liver is
inactive the whole sys-
tenn is out of order-the
breath is bad, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,
energy and hopefulness
gone, the spirits are de-
pressed. a heavy weight
exists after eating, with
general despondency and
the blues. The Liver is
the housekeeper of the
health; and a harmless,
simple remedy that acts
like Nature, does not
constipate afterwards or
require constant taking,
does not interfere with
business or pleasure dur
ing its use, makes Sim
mons Liver Regulator a
medical perfection.

when the strangers got near enough to see
the faces o the felers cain, one o em said,
There he Is, an without more sayin' they let
loose. never saw anybody skin around so
lively as the Kid did; he skipped six or eight

1t was a bullet for each man an he brought

an then went on some distance an camped

BILLY was a mighty queer lad; never
thought o nothin' 'cept KILN. The only
thing to do was to kill him. 1t wasn't no use
to put him i'll Jail, for he'd break out an the
fellers that put him there would have to
hustle around lively after that to keep out

tiles captured him more'n once, but he allus

BAGGAG EMEV MEEC.
The Old Chestnut, "The Baggage
Smasher," Dying Out.

Secretary Quick Of the National Asso-
citation Of General Baggage Agents, which
has Just closed its sixth annual session at
Atlanta, in an interview IN regard to the
baggage department of railroad service,
gives the public the information that the
old chestnut, The Baggage Smasher," is
dying out. This part OF the work. he says,
is watched very closely now, and bag
gageman caught willfully or careesslv
handling baggage roughly, is either dned,
suspended or discharged 0n the spot. One
OF the greatest reforms instituted by the
association is the successful handling OF
what is known as the "specIal Cheek
which, nv the improvements made
upon it and the joint action
OF the different lines regarding the
manner and system of using it. has be-
come an almost perfect cneck. IL is COM
posed OF a brass shell or holder IN which
Is stamped the name of the line issuing
1t, and which is used to hold the special
cneck or tag accompanying it. This
cheek or tag is made Of strong cardboard
and composed of three parts, viz: The tag
which Is placed in the shell,
and on which is written the
destination aud route the bag
gage 10 to 20. the duplicate, on which the
same Information Is written, and which
is gwen TO the passengers so they can
claim baggage Al destination, aud the
slip which is tilled IN by the agent issu-
ing 1t aud sent to the general baggage
agent as his record OF the transaction.
Instead of having the walls of the bag
cage rooms covered with differ
eat kinds of checks and
often delaying aud confusing baggage
men locking for the right one, single
book OF these shells and a few forms of
card checks answered tne purpose. The
success of this cneck was only brought
about by the general baggage agents get
ting together and agreeing upon bar
mOnious system Of issuing, reporting and
returning OF these checks. Their success
has been saving OF thousands of dollars
TO the railroads, besides being much
more satisfactory to the public. Their
use entails much more work on the gem
eral baggage agent, as a strict account
must be kept OF the movement OF each
check to see that il is properly used, and
is finally returned for cancellation, but
there is the satisfaction OF knowing that
both :he companies and the public are
being better served"

ROsIN FREIGHrs.
The Railroad COmpany's Losses the
Manufacturers Gain.

The Railroad COmpany's Losses the
Manufacturers Gain.
Mr.. A. p. Brantley. Wee President OF
the Naval Stores Manufacturers Protect
i've Association, takes exception to the
statement that the 20 per cent.
reduction on rosin freights will not
benefit the producer very much in the
long run. He saws Capt. Il. q. Fleming.
superintendent OF the savannah, Florida
and Western railway, old Inn prior to
the meeting OF the Railroad Commission
on Jan. 5 that the % per cent. reduction
asked tor, ii granted, would cost his COM
pany 10000 a wear. The reduction
granted vas 20 per cent. and the cores
prnding decrease in revenue ought to be
$50 900. The railroad company. it is un-
derstOod, lost $4,000 last year by estimat-
ing the barrels at 400 pounds, WHICH Is
fifty pounds less than the actual weight.
Mr.. Brantley accordingly makes the
point that the manufacturer will be bene-
ited TO the extent OF S3l 600.
The company is charging the full rates
allowed by the commission for lrss than
car lots. ~ barrel which was formerly
brought from Jesup to Savannah for &C.
now costs Soc, but the manufacturers
propose TO bring that matter to the com
missloners' attention, and they hope TO
get a reduction Tor less than car lots.
